Lyrics

Kansas

(Chorus)

Some day I'm gonna blow, Kansas

Some day I’m gonna blow

Don't say I didn't tell ya so, Kansas

Don’t say I didn't tell ya so

Will I remember you Kansas?

Hell, I don't even know

(Verse)

Where the mountains reach ut high, Kansas

That's where I wanna fly

Where the buildings scrape the sky, Kansas

Oh woe, oh me, oh my

You can rely on me Kansas

To kiss your ass goodbye

Your dust and weeds and clouds, Kansas

Are choking and killing me

Among the big city crowds, Kansas

That's where I'm gonna be

Water gotta find it's level

Poor boy gotta be free

(Chorus)

For some day I'm gonna blow, Kansas

Some day I’m gonna blow

Don’t say I didn't tell ya so, Kansas

Don’t say I didn't tell ya so

Will I remember you Kansas?

Hell, I don't even know

(Outro)

Hell, I don't even know
